Angle strips?

I’m milling up my bed wood and getting ready to stain and seal it but I’ve got one question, do the 2 edge pieces 4.25” wide get a notch for the angle strips or should the strips set right on top the board? Looks like it would work either way and still line the bed parts up about the same. Anyone know which is correct ?

Re: Angle strips?

According to GMC Paul's only on the inside edge of the outside boards. https://gmcpauls.com/47-72_BedWood_Info.htm

That is my educational experience for the day

Thanks 48. I don’t know how I missed that, gmc Paul’s is where I got all the other info for the wood.

Re: Angle strips?

I'd have to go out and look at a bedside I have off that is out back but I don't think the angle strips have as much of a lip on them as the bed strips do. The grooves in the wood for the bed strips are designed to let things move and wiggle a bit.
